Summary: Peatlands are significant soil carbon stores, but the C gas flux components show distinct spatial variation within and between peatlands. This study suggests that the spatial variability of these fluxes can be best explained by functional plant types and their traits, rather than individual traits. The results emphasize the importance of refining plant functional groupings based on relevant plant traits for future gas flux modeling purposes.

Summary: Plants play a critical role in mediating terrestrial mass and energy fluxes, and their traits have significant impacts on climate, biodiversity, and hydrology. However, current Earth System Models often oversimplify plant diversity and fail to capture ecological dynamics. This study proposes an evolution-based functional type approach to represent and study plant diversity in models, by considering the evolutionary relatedness of plant lineages. This approach has the potential to improve parameterization, process representation, and model benchmarking in next-generation Earth System Models.

Summary: Understanding the spatial distribution of biodiversity is crucial for ecology and conservation. We have developed a software package called spectre that can predict community composition at a fine spatial resolution using sparse biological data. The package uses a min-conflicts optimization algorithm to predict species' presences and absences in an area. It provides a simple and accurate tool for predicting community compositions across varying scales, facilitating further research and knowledge acquisition in ecology.

Summary: This study explores the effectiveness of different control strategies for invasive plant species using a spatially explicit cellular automaton model. It finds that removal of small or isolated patches is effective for seeding-dispersing species, while removal based on patch isolation and geometrical properties is effective for clonally expanding species. Additionally, the study highlights the importance of utilizing remote sensing for mapping invasive species and designing more effective control strategies.

Summary: Higher mean annual precipitation significantly increased plant species diversity and grassland ecosystem functions across different precipitation gradients. Allocation of above- and below-ground plant biomass shifted to aboveground as the ecosystem transitioned from arid to humid zones, with the largest trade-off between above- and below-ground plant biomass observed in the semi-humid zone. Grass-dominated communities mainly drove plant biomass in arid, semi-arid, and semi-humid zones, while sedge- and forb-dominated communities were dominant in the humid zone. The effects of precipitation on ecosystem functions were mediated by either aboveground plant biomass or species diversity in different plant functional types-dominated communities.

Summary: Metacommunities are shaped by species dispersal and topology. This study examines the ability of a spatially implicit model based on a fully connected topology to predict the structure of spatially explicit metacommunities. The results show that the importance of topology cannot be ignored, as it significantly affects alpha-diversity and the sorting of species. Spatially implicit models should be used cautiously when predicting the biodiversity, community composition, or ecosystem functions of spatially explicit metacommunities, especially at medium and high dispersal rates.

Summary: Mining activities can have significant impacts on the environment, altering topography, soil properties, hydrology, and biological communities. This study in southwest Australia examined a 19-year-old postmining woodland restoration to assess the development of plant communities in restored sites, finding that vegetation cover increased over time while plant density and species richness decreased. Environmental drivers, such as rainfall patterns, and management techniques, like substrate ripping, played key roles in restoration outcomes, highlighting the importance of long-term monitoring and evaluation in postmining restoration efforts.

Research found that in environments with different density fluctuations, there is a common axis of trait covariation, leading to the emergence of a universal trade-off in evolution.

Summary: The response of ecological restoration projects to disturbances is not often studied, but it plays a critical role in measuring the success of restoration by evaluating its ability to withstand and recover from disturbances. The soil seed bank (SSB) is an important source of propagules for species persistence and community resilience to disturbances in many plant communities. Understanding the development of SSB over time can provide insights for the restoration of resilient ecosystems.

Summary: Internal and environmental factors control seed dormancy and germination through three basic dormancy-release pathways: maternal structures and embryo physiology, imposed-dormancy release, and release from inherent dormancy by light/dark or cold stratification. On-plant seed storage and frugivorous seeds are recognized as special types of physical dormancy. Warm stratification and heat can promote germination. Levels of germination determine the net effect of inherent- and imposed-dormancy release, while seasonal fluctuations can lead to secondary dormancy.

Summary: Progressive habitat fragmentation threatens plant species with narrow habitat requirements. Dispersal is critical for population viability at the landscape scale, but is often confounded by the uncertainty about soil-stored population compartments. The study analyzed the genetic structure of Oenanthe aquatica populations and their soil seed banks to uncover hidden connectivity among populations in time and space. Results indicate stepping-stone dispersal across adjacent populations and suggest the importance of persistent seed banks as enduring sources of genetic diversity.

Summary: The stock biomass of carrot prawn in the south-central area of Chile has decreased in the past 12 years, mainly due to fishing mortality. Predation mortality has been less studied and quantified, so it is important to estimate and compare predation and fishing mortality to understand their effects on fishing stocks. A food web model was built to analyze the biomass changes and evaluate the relative contribution of different mortality factors. The results showed that predation mortality was the main component of total mortality for carrot prawns and yellow prawns.

Summary: The theory for movement-based coexistence between species often overlooks small-scale, station-keeping movements. However, at this scale, there are many instances where positive correlations exist between species traits that are expected to be negatively correlated based on current theory. Through simulations, the researcher presents a counter-example to demonstrate that functional tradeoffs are not a necessary condition for movement-based coexistence. This study highlights the significance of species-specific space use patterns under the time allocation tradeoff hypothesis.

Summary: Research on the use of insect microbial symbionts as a means of controlling the spread of insect vectors and the pathogens they carry has made significant progress in the last decade. This study focused on the relative importance of simultaneous effects caused by a symbiont called Caballeronia spp. on the ability of squash bugs to transmit phytopathogenic Serratia marcescens. The researchers found that infection with Caballeronia significantly reduced pathogen titers and cleared S. marcescens in bugs, thus reducing the vectoring potential of these pests. The study also showed that maximizing symbiont prevalence in the vector population is crucial for effectively mitigating plant infections.
